Paramount Film Calls for Changes to “Noah”

Los Angeles, Oct 18 – After several test screenings Paramount asked director Darren Aronofsky to make some changes in the film Noah, his big-budget biblical epic.

The studio is determined that Noah, with a budget of over US$ 125 million, not to become a major disaster.

In recent weeks, the study has conducted test screenings aimed at Christian and Jewish audiences.

But the Oscar-nominated director is apparently resisting those changes, according to sources.

Paramount vice-chairman Rob Moore said that the movie was simply going through the “normal preview process,” and that the studio “allowed for a very long post-production period, which allowed for a lot of test screenings,” according to local media.

Russell Crowe stars as Noah, the righteous Old Testament hero who built a giant ark to protect his family and the Earth´s animals against an apocalyptic flood sent by God to destroy the wicked. The film also features Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson, Logan Lerman, and Ray Winstone.
